โ€œWe broke up after...some events happened.โ€

I gaped at her. Sasori shook his head.

โ€œWhy the fucking hell is he here?โ€

โ€œHow am I supposed to know?โ€

I butted in.

โ€œIs Gray okay?โ€

Konan opened her mouth, but Itachi cut her off.

โ€œWe are here. Letโ€™s go.โ€

He looked grim, angry, and sad. Sadder than he always is. Kisame didnโ€™t even say anything, he just followed Itachi.

โ€œUh...Is it just me, or is Itachi being more of a depressed princess than his usual dumb self?โ€

โ€œSasori, it isnโ€™t only him, Kisameโ€™s also acting strange. Letโ€™s just go.โ€

I mentally prepared myself, shaking my nerves off. I had trained my jutsus almost everyday, and I hoped that I could at least survive.

As we opened the door, rushing out to greet six ugly corpses. They had stopped banging the door awhile ago. The least ugliest stepped towards Konan.

โ€œKonan.โ€

โ€œNagato.โ€

It was clear at once that they still loved each other, but they didnโ€™t say it. They just stood there, staring at each other.

Then I felt a sword slice my shoulder.

K-Kisame?!

He prepared to slice me again, and I ran, tried to dodge my ex-teammate's sword.

โ€œWhat the fuck, Itachi?โ€

Sasori had taken out one of his puppets, and was dueling with Itachi. I couldnโ€™t comprehend why they would turn on us. Konan was slicing the corpse that had talked with paper, clearly not hurting him, though.

โ€œKISAME. WHAT. THE. HELL!โ€

I gripped his sword, and tried to wrench it from him. He tugged it back, shouting โ€œYou wouldnโ€™t get why!โ€

โ€œFine then! I thought that I could trust you!โ€

I kicked him in the face, jumping on his sword and punching him again. He stumbled and then slashed me with his sword, getting me in the ankle. I uppercutted him, and he fell unconscious. I felt tears in my eyes, partly from the pain, but also because I thought that Itachi and Kisame would help us. Itachi had joked with me, talked with me, and was just a really cheerful and helpful person.

Or so I thought.

โ€œARGH!โ€

I glance over at Sasori, who was holding his broken arm, the puppet limp on the floor. Itachi stood over him, really to land the final blowโ€ฆ

โ€œNOT MY BOYFRIEND, YOU BITCH!โ€

A familiar blondie rushed to Itachi, and threw an explosive on his face.

โ€œDei..?โ€

โ€œHi, Sasori.โ€

Deidara turned to Itachi again, and began yeeting bombs at him, Itachi managing to dodge most of them, but getting his robe caught on fire.

โ€œDamn-โ€

โ€œYou should focus on yourself, girl.โ€

I looked into the eyes of another corpse.

He smashes me in the stomach, and throws aโ€ฆ a cage over me. Clutching my stomach, I wheeze out โ€œLet...Me...Go!โ€

โ€œSorry. Girls like you need to stay in the cage.โ€

Helpless, I could only watch as he ran to Deidaraโ€ฆ

Suddenly, I blacked out.

***

Hello, Kama Hatake. Or Master, shall I say?

Who are you?

I am the one who can awaken The strength of one hundred seals on your forehead, and give you immense power. My name is Chomei, the seven tails.

How do I know that you can be trusted?

I made you black out. I can control you when you are on the brink of failure. Here. Let me show you.

***

I awoke with purple chakra flowing across my body and strange, swirly lines across my body. Immerse power was flowing through me.

Time, it seemed, had slowed down. I raised my glowing fist, and punched the cage.

โ€œHAAA!โ€

The cage shattered, and I ran towards Mr. Ugly, ready to tank the blow for Dei, even if it meant getting critically injured.

A giant yellow shield surrounded me.

โ€œKama!โ€

Gray arrived, along with a pretty blue-haired lady that immediately punched one of the corpses, an older man who sended three giant red fists at another corpse, a third boy, who was shielding me, and an old woman, โ€œKAYY-YAAA!โ€-ing an enemy.

Dei was looking at me with surprise as he hugged Sasori. I gave him a โ€œDonโ€™t worry about it.โ€ look.

The boy who saved my life was now shielding the redhead and the blue woman.

Just then, Zetsu appeared, heading towards Sasori.

I thought : Oh, heโ€™s healing him.

But Zetsu flung a dart at Sasori, who blocked it.

Shit. Zetsuโ€™s a betrayer too!

Konan looked horrified as she โ€œdueledโ€ with her ex. She had a desperate look on her face, and clearly needed her ex. But she still didnโ€™t tell him.

The blue-haired woman (whose name was Allegra) rushed towards them, and started healing, which Zetsu was supposed to do.

Three people that betrayed us.

Three people that were once people I thought I could trust.

Threeโ€ฆย ย 

I rushed towards the corpse that trapped me, clutching my hand into a fist.

โ€œYou may have trapped me last time, but nowโ€ฆโ€

โ€œIโ€™ll do it again!โ€ He snarled, leaping at me.

Those were his final words. I screamed โ€œGo to hell!โ€ and smashed him with everything I had. He got obliterated.

Suddenly, Chomei pulled me into a memory.

***

โ€œHello! My name is Rin Noroha! This is my husband Kakashiโ€ Rin pointed at Kakashi, who was reading a book, โ€œand his boyfriend, Might Gai!โ€

It cuts to Might Gai flashing a smile at the camera, and holding a thumbs up.

โ€œWe all hope you will take care of Kama!โ€

Then it cuts to blackness.

Why did that make me so happy?

***

The battle rages on. Two of the corpses are down (One by Deidara and one by me.) Three traitors. Itachi. Kisame. Zetsu. Only Itachiโ€™s fighting, though. Kisame was knocked out by me, and Zetsu is doing nothing.

The Four Masterโ€™s that Gray found are very helpful, but the battle is taking its toll. Allegraโ€™s constantly healing people. Armando keeps swinging. Abdonis puts up numerous shields. And Guru Andma slices enemies.

Just when I think it canโ€™t get any worse, a fourth person arrives on their side, at the same time as another person on our side. These new arrivals startle everyone, and the battle stops for a few precious moments.

Kakuzu, surrounded by black mist, and Hidan have arrived at the scene.

Unedited and Awesome - (Thank you Sia)

EEEEEEEEEEE TRATIORS AND LOVERSSSSS HEHEHEE

Andddddd I don't own these guys, I only own Kama and Gray
